Easily my favorite. The whole sequence leading up to the game winner is amazingly clutch, both by Roy and Yao. This is my favorite non-Blazer shot, which is funny because I don't really like Westbrook. I can't help but get pumped watching this, though.

Mine will always be the Tim Duncan 3 pointer against the Suns in the playoffs. I was at this game and I could not hear myself think for a solid 5 minutes after he made that shot. NO ONE expected him to shoot that shot much less make it

I will never understand why that Kobe shot is so glorified. Sure, it was an intense playoff buzzer beater by an underdog, but I think it's tainted pretty good by the following:

They lost the series - in pretty spectacular fashion too, losing three straight, including a Game 6 where Raja Bell, the best wing defender (the team's "Kobe-stopper"), was suspended, and a Game 7 where the Suns ran them out of the building and Kobe only scored 1 point the whole second half.

The Suns had a better buzzer beater a mere two games later. Tim Thomas had that nice pump fake and then drained the 3 to send it into overtime, en route to a Suns win (and eventually a Suns series win).

This last one might be dismissed as bias, but everyone who watched the game knows that the jump ball that the Lakers won to give Kobe that possession shouldn't have been called. When the Lakers trapped Nash in the corner, both Nash and Diaw were screaming for a time out, which wasn't called. Subsequently after the non-time out, Luke Walton proceeded to drape himself all over Nash, and no foul call, but a jump ball instead. And even if the referee decided that there was not enough contact to call a foul, Walton still could not have legally tie Nash up as he was standing out of bounds (http://www.nba.com/suns/playoffs/tribune_notebook_060503.html). Kobe's amazing shot was only possible because of three blown calls on the same play that all went in the Lakers' favor.

You downvoted me because of my favorite shot? I loved the shot because of the playoff intensity, the crowd going wild, me and my little brother standing up watching the jumpball, hoping the lakers would get the ball, seeing Kobe dribble to his sweet spot, knocking it down as the clock expired and immediately going outside and doing the same shot in the backyard and doing that shot so much that in probably every pickup game I played that year(freshman yr of HS) i dribbled to the right elbow and pulled.

My opinion is an opinion also. In what way did I come across as upset with him for posting what he posted? I argued with him because I feel like what I had to say was relevant discussion. Just because I disagree with him doesn't mean I'm upset with him.

Not my favorite but sometime around 04' Matt Harpring made a buzzer beater rainbow 3. As i remember it, it was a really beatiful shot and a really archy rainbow. I got a Matt Harpring jersey for my birthday that year... biggest mistake

It's been used in every single Kobe highlight video on Youtube, but basically it's the one in Kobe's 61 point game at MSG where he pump fakes, draws the defender in the air, then pivots with his foot and gets an easy shot.

Shows his presence of mind, craftiness, footwork, and shot-making ability all in one video.
